Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd., although its parent company is one of the world's top 2000 companies, the world's only top-ranked CSX group company that integrates railways, container transportation and logistics services, and has [-] companies in the world. There are four terminals or supporting facilities, nearly [-] employees, and an annual turnover of more than [-] million US dollars!But this does not mean that the life of Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. is very moist.

Although its parent company is csx group, csx group has now sold its well-known world-class shipping company Sea Land Services Co., Ltd. to Maersk Line.Kwai Tsing Container Terminal No. [-], which originally belonged to Sea-Land Services Co., Ltd., was handed over to Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. for transportation.

Fortunately, although Sea-Land Services Co., Ltd. was annexed by Maersk Line, the container fleet of Sea-Land Services Co., Ltd. still uses Kwai Tsing Container Terminal No. [-], plus the container fleet of Hanjin Group, Kwai Tsing Container Terminal No. [-] [-]% to [-]% of the loading and unloading capacity has already been occupied, and the remaining less than [-]% of the loading and unloading capacity, as long as you work a little harder, it will not be a problem at all-Hong Kong's reputation as the world's largest container throughput is not a decoration, there are more than [-] containers every day. A large number of container ships enter the port, and at the same time, a large number of container ships leave the port.

And the profit of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal No. [-] accounted for nearly half of the total profit of Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. In this way, as long as the income of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal No. [-] is guaranteed, Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. income can still be guaranteed.

But such a good day cannot last long. The two major customers of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal No. [-], Hanjin Group and Maersk Line, both intend to switch to other terminals after the contract expires. The shipping line was in October, much to the chagrin of Johnson Stephen Lamb, managing director of Universal Terminals Ltd.Without these two major customers, Kwai Tsing Container Terminal No. [-] will lose [-]% to [-]% of its business.In the fiercely competitive Hong Kong container terminal operation industry, they want to find a stable and large customer like Hanjin Group or Maersk Line in a short period of time.Very hard!
Thinking of this, Lamb couldn't help but greet the boss of a certain company that robbed Han Jin Group's business of the women in the [-]th generation of his ancestors - it is impossible for Han Jin Group to give up its business in Hong Kong, so it will leave Pier [-] Will definitely choose another marina again.As for Maersk Line, Lamb is hard to say, because Maersk Group, the parent company of Maersk Line, itself has a special subsidiary Maersk Container Terminal Company, which is responsible for the construction and operation of container terminals.And just across the river in Pengcheng Port, there is a terminal operated by Maersk Container Terminal Company. There is an old saying among Chinese people that the fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and Lamb can still understand it.The business of Maersk Line can be kept until the contract expires in October next year before being transferred to Pengcheng or other terminals in Kwai Tsing Container Terminal.It's been quite a promise.

But understanding... can't be eaten as a meal!Lamb has worked in Hong Kong for many years, and now his whole family is in Hong Kong. Although he is still a British citizen, his thoughts and words have already become Chinese.

The business volume of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal No. [-] can be said to be related to the key point of the annual rate of return of Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. If he cannot find a heavyweight customer in about three months, then Next year, the revenue of Universal Container Terminals Co., Ltd. may decline sharply, and may even suffer a loss!
Losses, this thing is commonplace for most companies in the world.Even in some countries, after occupying an unshakable monopoly position in some industries, those companies can still confidently shout "We are losing money and need subsidies"!The Nokia Group used to be in a mess of losses; the Sony Group, which has been famous for a long time, also lost money; and Airbus has suffered substantial losses from the very beginning.It took many years before it started to make a profit; Kodak, the former film overlord, was about to go bankrupt at a loss; Microsoft, which can be called a banknote printing factory, also lost money on the home game console project. And Yu... So, in this world.It would be a miracle if a large enterprise could keep operating in black for many years from the very beginning!
But for Universal Terminals, for Lamb.A loss is likely to lead to a serious consequence!That is Universal Container Terminals Co., Ltd., and it is very likely that it will be abandoned by the parent company CSX Group!
This is not groundless, and Lamb knows it very well!After Sea-Land Services Co., Ltd. disappeared, Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. has been marginalized in the parent company CSX Group!This can be seen from the fact that Universal Container Terminals Co., Ltd. has not received funds for expansion in the past two years.The reason why csx group has not taken any action yet is because the current profit margin of global container terminal co., LTD. Some of the influence in it is also good, so it has been inactive.

However, if Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. suffers a serious loss, the situation will be completely different. CSX Group is likely to sell Global Container Terminal Co., Ltd. in exchange for a sum of money.And that would not be a good thing for Lamb himself.Not to mention that all the painstaking efforts invested in Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. over the years have all been in vain, even if the csx group will arrange other positions for him, where can he be arranged?Those important positions in the company are one carrot and one hole, each of which has many people staring at it, and I was not promoted because of meritorious service, how could I get a position that I am satisfied with?Moreover, their family has lived in Hong Kong for many years. Whether they go to the United States or other places, they need a process of re-adaptation. This will make the family who live happily in Hong Kong very unhappy.

As long as he thinks that there may be a scene where he or his husband and wife leave Hong Kong to take office in a foreign country, Lamb feels unspeakably unhappy.

To change this future, the most urgent task is to find new big customers for Pier No. [-]!But... Lamb also knows that this is not easy!

Although Hong Kong is the largest container port in the world, and the Kwai Tsing container terminal is the main berth for container ships, this does not mean that the No. [-] terminal can easily find new customers to fill the Han Jin Group's departure.There are not many shipping companies that can match the business volume of Hanjin Group in Hong Kong, and almost all of them have signed contracts with the terminals in Hong Kong Port.Moreover, among the terminal operating companies of the Kwai Tsing Container Terminal, local companies in Hong Kong have already occupied an absolute advantage. For foreign-funded terminal operating companies, these peers have suppressed them even more severely.Moreover, in recent years, in order to enhance their competitiveness, major companies in the international shipping industry have often formed alliances or joint ventures to share shipping space. The single berth operation method has become somewhat outdated.In such a big environment, it is simply impossible for Universal Container Terminals Co., Ltd. to find a suitable company and sign a contract in such a short period of time!
Some people may say that if you can't find big customers, is it possible that you can't find small and medium customers?As a free port, Hong Kong has countless container ships entering and leaving the port every year. Pier No. [-] once set a record for the highest throughput of a single berth handling more than one million containers per year. Are you afraid that no customers will come to your door?It is not that Lamb has not thought of using preferential treatment to attract other small and medium-sized shipping companies to settle in Pier No. [-], but from the perspective of stable supply and income, small and medium-sized shipping companies obviously have less advantages than large shipping companies.This will undoubtedly increase the operating costs of Universal Container Terminals Co., Ltd. and reduce revenue.The final result is likely to lead to the sale of Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. by CSX Group.

If it is said that Kuok’s Shipping Group has not just opened the No. [-] Pier of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal, in fact, there is still a glimmer of hope for Global Container Terminals Co., Ltd. The rapid growth of the container fleet of Kuok’s Shipping Group makes it a The original two terminals of the terminal were overwhelmed and had to load and unload cargo at the berths of other terminals. The third terminal had also cooperated with Guo’s Shipping Group Company for a period of time, but since the opening of the ninth terminal, Guo’s shipping The container fleet of the group company has been able to obtain sufficient berths, so naturally it will no longer berths at other terminals.

Lamb even wondered if he should try to contact the three major shipping companies in Japan to see if he could attract one or two of them.However, he also understands that what he did is purely treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor!Not to mention that the three major shipping companies, as the old shipping companies in Asia, have already moored at their own or allied wharves. The conditions at the pier must be very harsh.

But what he didn't expect was that there was a private message from Guo's Shipping Group Company that Fang Mingyuan, the president of Guo's Shipping Group Company, hoped to have a face-to-face meeting with him within a day or two.As for what to talk about, I have no way of knowing!
